Congratulations, nurses!

12th May 2025

Every year on the 12th of May, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, we celebrate International Day of Nurses.

This year, International Council of Nurses (ICN) focuses on the health and wellbeing of nurses and the critical role a healthy nursing workforce plays in strengthening economies, improving health systems, and ensuring better outcomes for communities worldwide.

The theme chosen by International Council of Nurses (ICN) “Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies”.

We are extremely proud of the 130 nurses who work at HSN, who are professionally responsible for nursing services and perform a wide range of work, including in nursing and hospital and residential wards, in nursing reception, in infant and toddler care, in primary school children health care, in home nursing and in the endoscopy departments.

Congratulations, nurses – we are very grateful for your wonderful and important work.
